A tender moment on a quiet path — an adult goose leans in toward its curious, fluffy gosling, as if offering a gentle lesson in the art of exploring the world.

It's still #caturday to me, dammit. Today is my girlfriend's cat, Scruffy, who we simply call "Kitty". He was desperately clinging to what little Minnesota sunlight was breaking through the curtains on a chilly day.

I hope, one day, “This isn't what I voted for...” be looked at in the same light as “I was just following orders"...

Expectation vs reality. Look, I get it. It's assembled by criminally underpaid people who are reprimanded if they don't keep up a certain pace, so it's not going to look picture perfect, but Jeeze Louise, could they at least have put the pickles and onions on it?

My girlfriend indulged me on a snowy #photography walk in Owatonna yesterday. I love being out in the snow and cold, even if there's a lot more of it here in #Minnesota than there was in the DC metro.

Maybe I’m just in a bad mood but I really want to start replying to every democrat fundraising email with “I’ve been trying find food banks in my area but 90% of them aren’t accepting new applicants due to overwhelming demand”

Being new to St. Paul, I'm confused on where the hell to park when it snows. My apt tells me I'll have to move out of my space I pay for so they can plow, but they weren't helpful on where to park. Is it as simple as parking Grand Ave after 8am and Lincoln Ave after 5pm!?

I've never seen the Northern Lights before. My girlfriend texted me to let me know they were out. She's down in Owatonna so I figured I'd not see too much here in St. Paul because of light pollution. I was wrong.

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.
YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

I'm finding it hard to get excited after one good night, knowing that they still control all levers of gov't, and rather than reflect and change, they will simply double down on the hate and cruelty and pull those levers to rig and sabotage future elections.
